is so complete that we don't feel like exult-

could do. He attempts to get sympathy by
insinuating that threats of violence were
made towards him. | can say that no threats

Old soldiers do not mean to throw bricks in
order to show their contempt. l have had
letters by the bushels from all parts of the
United States and believe that 80 per cent of
the old soldiers were opposed to having him
review them at their encampment. As to
the suggestion from ST. Louis that the citi-
zens will treat the Grand Army with incivil-
ity, l can say that the old soldiers ask no fa-
vors of ST. Louis and do not go there for that
purpose. They are not a set of politicians
and will find all the entertainment they want
in renewing and strengthening the les of fra
ternal association.

he was younger and better looking,

the surface was diyided into four quar-
ters. The proprietor brought ont lot
of bits of ivory in 4 basket, the others
all got into chairs on their toes and sat
upon their heels, and the game of fan
tan began. Ching lost steadily, and in
the midst of his losings gave crisp bill
to a woe begone Chinaman who came
in and told of long illness and the
of all his savings. All the
